*main = means we are on the main branch

Commit

Check what is new in the project, and what has not been uploaded. It will be in red.

git add Assets/Materials/

git add allows us to add one file at a time.

git add .

Git add . allows us to add everything in the project that needs to be updated at once.

git commit -m "your message"

Push from your origin to the branch you wish to make updates to.
